Night Lords 2nd Armored Battalion

[Galron]

Could have sworn I had posted my Night lords here previously. I guess not. I'll take some further pics since these are older. I dont play tournaments typically so I dont have any hang-ups on using Legends. I also have a HH Armored Spear of Night Lords I treat as loyalists fluffwise but I bounce back and forth as need arises. My head canon here and I do have a story I am working on about them is a lost warfleet that jumped with its escorts before they could be turned on rather than fire on them when the legion betrayed its imperial army/navy allies. So it still has a full complement of heresy era tanks and the means to get them there. I think chaos still suits them better and I can play off the warp pact abilities as veteran skills and the occasional mortal wound as equipment break down over time.  

My list can be played as either Raiders or Seige Host with a simple change of enhancements. Not sure which version I like better. I mostly just enjoy tossing interesting vehicles on the board so people go "WTH is that?"

Current 2k using Siege Host

Chaos Lord - bastion plate (goes with chosen in spartan)

Terminator sorceror with warp tracer

Master of executions- iron artifice (goes with legionaries in Spartan)

 

 

5 legionaries meltagun melee build (rides in spartan)

 

5 chosen full loadout

5 havoc 4 autocannons- I am aware they would be better with lascannons but in Raiders they are pretty good with ACs

10 man Nemesis claw full loadout 

5 Warp Talons

 

Hellbrute with missile launcher and twin lascannon (stands next to Kratos)

Kratos HK, 2 volkite calvers, 2vulkite culverins, volkite cardanelle, multi-melta, autocannon

Sicaran Punisher HK, 3 Heavy bolters, Punisher rotary cannon, storm bolter(? really editors?)

Spartan- twin heavy bolter, multi-melta pintle, two quad lascannons

Scorpius- HK- storm bolter

 

 

I really want to bring my Leviathan but the only one I would want to bring would be the dual Grav version. Its cool but if I go against big bugs its worthless. Hopefully one change they make next edition is anti-vehicle works for monsters too. Kind of silly that it doesnt and an entire army is immune despite being the equivalent except with chitin instead of steel.  

 

I have a different version that drops the lord, MoE, chosen and nemesis claw and replaces them with a term lord and 10 man terminator squad and a cultist squad. and for siege comes in at exactly 2k.

I could've sworn I've seen your El Jimador before because I remember thinking about the tequila, only to learn it means 'the reapers of tequila' or something, but I only learned that because I saw your dreadnought, but I knew that info before I saw your dreadnought apparently for the first time today. 

Is it a simulation, or is Mandela still in prison or what?!

I could have sworn I posted them before too. But oh well. I have the Spartan, Kratos, contekar, + the terminator praetor, and Sevie on the bench right now. Sevie is 95%, contekars are 75% and the two vehicles are about 50%. Gotta finish the lightning bolts on the vehicles and decals then some varnish before I start weathering them. Terminators have all their base colors done as well as shading, they just need highlighting. Sevie, I really dont know what more he needs but I am not happy with him yet.

I looked back in the chaos forum to when you stated you had first joined back in 2022 (oddly different from your currently displayed start date, but same name and avatar) and couldn't find it - you do have some old Iron Warriors threads, so I suppose they could be hidden in those, but nothing labelled Night Lords in the thread title.  So maybe it was in the WIP or Honour subforums?

 

Really like your nigh lords - I think your use of larger groups of lightning than is the norm is really effective.

No biggie. I in theory will have the pre-weathering stages done on the two vehicles mentioned above maybe even tonight and more done on the terminators. I tool an admin day off yesterday(because theres a real fear they are going to yank them from us) and I was planning on just hitting the gym and painting all day, my version of a mental health day I guess lol. Didnt work out so well when I woke up to intense pain from one of my kidneys. Go go kidney stone! Needless to say, I got a little done last night after the ER trip before the pain meds wore off. Feeling much better this morning.
